Revision 1.1 7707VB-8-OC48 - 1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7707VB-8-OC48 is a VistaLINK®enabled fiber transceiver for SD-SDI, DVB-ASI or SDTi video signal
that transports signals at OC-48/STM-16 data rates (2488.32 Mb/s) and interfaces directly to SONET/SDH
infrastructure. The card also has a built-in Ethernet transceiver with a 10/100/1000 Base-T port. This dual
fiber single card combines 8 asynchronous SDI, DVB-ASI or SDTi signals using Time Domain Multiplex
(TDM) technology. A companion 7707VB-8-OC48 card acts as a demultiplexer for the incoming signal and
converts them back to separate SDI video feeds, while utilizing a separate fiber for the outgoing signal.
The 7707VB-8-OC48 will transparently pass incoming SD-SDI video feeds with embedded AES audio or
any other data in the horizontal or vertical ancillary data space. Monitoring and control of card status and
parameters is provided locally at the card edge or remotely via VistaLINK®.
The fiber output is available in an assortment of optical wavelengths, accommodating standard, CWDM or
DWDM transmission schemes.
7707VB13-8-OC48 1310 nm FP -7dBm output, suitable for distances up to 50 Km
7707VB15-8-OC48 1550 nm DFB 0dBm output, suitable for distances up to 75 Km
There are several versions with built in isolators specifically suited to coarse wave division multiplexing
(CWDM) applications. These versions all have 0dBm output and are suitable for distances up to 75 Km.

There are several versions with built in isolators specifically suited to dense wave division multiplexing
(DWDM) applications. The DWDM versions are suitable for distances >120 km @ 270 Mb/s (for DWDM
applications contact the factory).

The 7707VB-8-OC48 occupies two card slots in the 3 RU frame, which will hold up to 7 modules or one
card slot in the 1RU frame, which will hold up to three modules. One 7707VB-8-OC48 module can also be
installed in the S7701 stand-alone enclosure.

2. INSTALLATION
The 7707VB-8-OC48 comes with a companion rear plate that has 17 BNC connectors and two SC/PC
(shown), ST/PC or FC/PC optical connector. For information on mounting the rear plate and inserting the
module into the frame see section 3 of the 7700FR chapter.
Figure 2-1: 7707VB-8-OC48 Rear Panel
SDI IN 1-8: Eight independent BNC input connectors for 10-bit serial digital video signals compatible
with the SMPTE 259M, DVB-ASI or SMPTE 305M standards. These inputs provide
adaptive compensation for up to 250m of industry standard Belden 8281 cable, at 270Mb/s.
SD OUT 1-8: Eight independent BNC output connectors for 10-bit serial digital video signals compatible
with the SMPTE 259M, DVB-ASI or SMPTE 305M standards.
MON OUT: User selectable video loopback output. Any of the inputs or the outputs can source this
port for reclocked loop back functionality. Selection is controlled via the card edge menu or
VistaLINK®. If EDH correction is activated, the selected output will be EDH corrected.

2.1.4. Handling and Connecting Fibers
"
Never touch the end face of an optical fiber. Always keep dust caps on optical fiber
connectors when not connected. Always remember to properly clean the optical end
face of a connector before making a connection.
The transmission characteristics of the fiber are dependent on the shape of the optical core and therefore
care must be taken to prevent fiber damage due to heavy objects or abrupt fiber bending. Evertz
recommends that you maintain a minimum bending radius of 5 cm to avoid fiber-bending loss that will
decrease the maximum attainable distance of the fiber cable. The Evertz fiber optic modules come with
cable lockout devices to prevent the user from damaging the fiber by installing a module into a slot in the
frame that does not have a suitable I/O module. For further information about the care and handling of
fiber optic cable see section 3 of the Fiber Optics System Design section of this manual binder.
